dpkg: syntax error: unknown user `backuppc' in statoverride file
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)

Now I have searched on the last error and can not find a thing on it, any ideas?
This is on the DVD v4.0.2

Update: I ended up adding this backuppc as a user hmmmm wonder why?

I also ended up adding uml-net as a group and chipcard as a user because i kept getting that error:

dpkg: syntax error: unknown user `xxxxx' in statoverride file
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)

xxxxxx was different each time until I added the user or group mentioned above.

Now dpkg works fine

Any ideas anyone?
